#CCL Review

[runariya]

the way their misunderstanding cleared up only for new one to emerges shows how much they really lack in healthy communication as couples and using s3x like sorry thats giving toxic relationship trope kinda sorta (don't jump).

and Yoongi already knew about the hara's real daddy, didn't he? i think it was ch2 when both jk n oc enters cabin when everyone was already there suddenly shush seeing them entering, and from that moment (i think) yoongi already aware of it, also i think everyone in gc is just chatting about how stupidly in love they both are despite everything and trying to make them talk to each other 😭💔😭💔😭😭😭

aaah dwdw I get it and you’re so right. they’re not done healing just from that revelation. it was honestly the stupidest decision they could’ve made smh with emotions running high and all over the place, it’s easy to do something like that! but they’ll learn how to be in a healthy relationship, it’s all part of the process, i promise!

and yes, Yoongi knew! everyone just wants them to talk, to learn how to communicate without interfering too much. JK and OC are adults, and if they rly want to make it work, they need to put in the effort themselves for their relationship (Namjoon’s words, not mine lol)

tysm for your ask 💕 ly

實體清單/推定拒絕/許可證/舉證責任的置換

舉證責任的置換

烏凌翔，美中科技戰與權力轉移－熱戰可以被避免嗎？( US-China Tech War and Power Transitions –Can a Hot War Be Avoided? )，臺灣大學社會科學院 政治學系博士論文，民國 111 年 12 月，頁206-210。

1一旦列名實體清單，就是推定拒絕，你來說服我，讓我給你許可證啊。

2商務部列實體清單，外界那知悉SOP，而且是商務部工業與安全局單方就算數。

3一旦列名實體清單，就是推定拒絕，你來說服我，讓我給你許可證啊。個案認定。你來個案說服我。

4知道實體清單的厲害了吧！不管三七二十一，通通列入實體清單輔以許可證政策。

5此種舉證責任的置換，不需立法之時的立法論理，只要 ECRA/EAR授權商務部有開列各式 清單權限為已足。

6知道ECRA/EAR授權商務部開列實體清單與種種清單的殺招了吧，當時美國相關報導都很少。

依照美國《出口管理規則》（Export Administration Regulation, EAR）規定，凡美國企業若欲出口、再出口或境外移轉貨品予實體清單（Entity list）中的企業時，須事前通過BIS的「許可證審查政策」（License review policy）。然而，BIS對申請案採取「推定禁止」（Presumption of denial）原則，意即若非有證據證明交易行為不會對美國國家安全及外交政策產生不利影響，將拒絕發放許可。

據了解，由於中國大陸所製造的超級電腦，多數仰賴由英特爾（Intel）、輝達（Nvidia）及超微半導體（Advanced Micro Devices, AMD）公司提供的晶片或微晶片，因此，在美國政府切斷對中國大陸晶片的供應後，恐影響中國大陸的超級電腦的運算能力。

------------

換言之，當時美國總統川普念茲在茲的貿易數字失衡只是美國技術流失的結果，所謂「中美貿易戰」實質上是一場科技保衛戰，之後，隨著美、中磨擦的演進，抱持相同看法的中、外學者來越多，520 這一方面確定了「中美貿易戰」的內涵，也為「中美科技戰」的內容，指引了一條研究���徑。不論美國政府官僚���中是貿易戰抑或科技戰，為了建立依法行政的基礎與未來制裁中國的「工具」或「武器」，各部會同步進行幕僚作業。主要有 2018 年分別由參院、眾院通過，8 月 13 日再由川普簽署的《2019 財年國防授權法》，

＊521 其中包括兩部法案都與對抗中國有關，一是《外國投資風險審查現代化法》（Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act, FIRRMA），

＊522 另一是《出口管制改革法》（Export Control Reform Act, ECRA）。

＊523 前者賦予財政部旗下「海外投資委員會」（The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, CFIUS）更大的權力審查更廣的投資範圍，增加了「申報」程序，當某項交易會導致外國政府直接或間接擁有“重大利益”的外國人士收購涉及關鍵基礎設施、關鍵技術或敏感數據的美國企業的“重大利益”時，強制要求申報，顯然是為了防止中國企業以併購美國公司的方式取得美國科技；後者則為商務部未來管制美國新興技術出口與再出口取得法源，商務部得以「國家安全」為由管制出口。

＊524 當時除了法律專業媒體，通俗媒體對這些法案內容的報導很少，有可能是外界一時沒看出這些法律與行政命令的重要性，以及完善這些法令所針對的對象就是中國， 之後美國政府這些「鋪陳」的效果逐步顯現後，外界才確認美國政府其實是「從投資、貿易和出口三個層面逐漸構建了一個對美國的跨境交易逐漸完善的審查體系」，美國這項立法算是「亡羊補牢」，因為在此之前的「2015 年至 2017 年間，中國不僅是每年申報交易數量最大的國家，在對美國關鍵技術企業的收購中，申報數量也是最多的」。

＊525 具備了以上法案，商務部就成了對中科技戰的主要「作戰單位」，財政部次之，國防部當然也沒缺席，本章後文會申論。那麼，究竟美國認為哪些領域必需保持相對優勢以防制中國不當取得其科技呢？依據本文之前第參章對於科學與技術的分析，科技領域的分類十分龐雜，中國近年來的追趕又十分緊迫，美國要確認自己到底在哪些科學與技術領域對中國享���優勢、或享有多少優勢，也許並不是件容易的工作，然而川普政府的國安團隊頻頻換手、經貿團隊組成雖較穩定卻也內訌不斷而顯現出在戰術上沒有章法，可能是更主要的原因。

526 從 301 報告發佈，又經過了 2019 年整年、2020 年大半年，美國商務部持續對中國各單位祭出各種程度的行政制裁，一直到外界都看出重點漸漸聚焦在半導體產業後，才公佈需要保護的重點科技領域清單，而且還從不同部門發出內容不一的清單。

Enhance Your Skills with Comprehensive NAATI Practice Tests at Vision Language Experts

For anyone aiming to achieve success in the NAATI CCL (Credentialed Community Language) test, preparation is crucial. A solid understanding of the language and the ability to perform well under exam conditions are key to achieving a passing score. One of the most effective ways to prepare is by utilizing NAATI practice tests and NAATI test samples. These tools are invaluable for honing your skills, familiarizing yourself with the exam format, and building the confidence needed to succeed.

Why NAATI Practice Tests Are Essential

The NAATI CCL test assesses your ability to understand and translate conversations between a speaker of English and a speaker of a Language Other Than English (LOTE). This test is not just about knowing a language; it’s about interpreting and conveying messages accurately in a culturally appropriate way. Practice tests provide you with the opportunity to:

Understand the Exam Format: The NAATI CCL test includes two dialogues that you must interpret. Practice tests help you get accustomed to this format, allowing you to approach the actual exam with familiarity and confidence.

Improve Interpretation Skills: By practicing with test samples, you can refine your interpretation skills, ensuring that you can quickly and accurately translate spoken language between English and your chosen LOTE.

Enhance Time Management: The test is timed, and practicing under exam conditions helps you learn to manage your time effectively, ensuring that you can complete each dialogue within the allotted time.

Identify Weaknesses: Regular practice allows you to identify areas where you need improvement, whether it’s vocabulary, grammar, or cultural nuances. Once identified, you can focus your study efforts more effectively.

What to Expect in a NAATI Practice Test

NAATI practice tests typically mirror the structure of the actual exam. At Vision Language Experts, we provide comprehensive practice tests that include:

Two Dialogues: Each test includes two dialogues, one in English and one in your LOTE, requiring accurate and immediate interpretation.

Realistic Scenarios: The dialogues cover everyday situations that you might encounter in community settings, helping you prepare for the types of conversations you’ll interpret in the test.

Feedback and Scoring: After completing a practice test, you receive feedback and a score that highlights your strengths and areas for improvement.

Using NAATI Test Samples to Your Advantage

NAATI test samples are an excellent resource for getting a taste of what to expect in the actual exam. These samples often include past exam questions or simulations of potential exam scenarios. Here’s how to make the most of them:

Simulate Exam Conditions: When using NAATI test samples, try to replicate the exam environment. Time yourself, work without distractions, and adhere to the format to build exam-day readiness.

Review and Reflect: After completing a test sample, review your performance. Consider what went well and what didn’t. This reflection helps solidify your learning and guides your future practice sessions.

Focus on Accuracy and Clarity: The key to passing the NAATI CCL test is clear, accurate communication. Pay close attention to how you convey meaning in both languages, ensuring that you’re not only correct but also culturally sensitive.

Why Choose Vision Language Experts for NAATI Preparation?

At Vision Language Experts, we understand the importance of thorough preparation for the NAATI CCL test.

How to Export Coffee from India?

Coffee, a rejuvenating beverage, has rapidly gained popularity in India, especially among the youth. Despite neither coffee nor tea being native to India, the country has become one of the largest consumers of coffee globally. This surge in coffee culture is due to the proliferation of coffee houses, brands, and cafes. Besides its refreshing qualities, coffee offers numerous health benefits.

Understanding Cardano: A Revolutionary Blockchain Platform

In the fast-evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, Cardano has emerged as a noteworthy contender. Founded by Charles Hoskinson, one of the co-founders of Ethereum, Cardano stands out for its commitment to scalability, sustainability, and interoperability. In this article, we delve into the core aspects of Cardano, exploring its unique features and the potential it holds for the future of decentralized finance (DeFi) and beyond.

1. Philosophy and Approach: At the heart of Cardano lies a strong philosophical foundation rooted in peer-reviewed research and academic rigor. Unlike many blockchain projects, Cardano adopts a scientific approach, integrating academic research and cryptographic principles into its development process. This approach ensures that every aspect of the platform is thoroughly vetted and validated before implementation, prioritizing security, scalability, and sustainability.

2. Three Layers of Cardano: Cardano is structured into three distinct layers, each serving a specific purpose: the Cardano Settlement Layer (CSL), the Cardano Computation Layer (CCL), and the Cardano Control Layer (CCL). The CSL handles transactions and the native ADA cryptocurrency, ensuring secure and efficient peer-to-peer transactions. The CCL, on the other hand, facilitates smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps), enabling developers to build complex applications on the blockchain. Finally, the CCL serves as a governance layer, allowing stakeholders to participate in the decision-making process through a democratic voting mechanism.

3. Ouroboros Consensus Mechanism: Cardano utilizes the Ouroboros proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which is designed to achieve both scalability and security. Unlike traditional proof-of-work (PoW) systems, where miners compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles, PoS relies on validators who are chosen to create new blocks based on the amount of cryptocurrency they hold and are willing to "stake" as collateral. Ouroboros ensures that the network remains secure while significantly reducing energy consumption compared to PoW-based blockchains.

4. Interoperability and Sustainability: Interoperability is a key focus of Cardano, aiming to establish seamless communication and collaboration between different blockchain networks. Through its unique architecture and protocol standards, Cardano enables cross-chain compatibility, allowing assets and data to be transferred between different blockchains effortlessly. Moreover, Cardano is committed to environmental sustainability, addressing the concerns surrounding the energy consumption associated with blockchain networks.

5. Adoption and Future Prospects: Despite being a relatively young platform, Cardano has garnered significant attention and adoption within the cryptocurrency community. Its emphasis on scalability, sustainability, and interoperability positions it as a promising contender in the competitive landscape of blockchain technology. With ongoing development and upcoming upgrades such as the implementation of smart contract capabilities through the Alonzo upgrade, Cardano is poised to play a significant role in shaping the future of decentralized finance and beyond.

In conclusion, Cardano represents a paradigm shift in the world of blockchain technology, combining scientific rigor with practical innovation to create a platform that is scalable, sustainable, and interoperable. With its unique approach and ambitious roadmap, Cardano has the potential to revolutionize various industries and redefine the way we think about decentralized systems.

a) Domestic Manufacturer: The domestic manufacturer can list themselves directly.

Step 2: Application Filing: The manufacturer must file a BIS application, ensuring that all the required documents are attached.

Step 3: Test Reports: The product must be submitted to a BIS-certified laboratory for testing. The lab will generate a test report, which should be included with the application.

Step 4: Scrutiny: Once the application is submitted, the BIS will review it for any discrepancies. If any errors or omissions are found, the manufacturer will be notified to rectify them.

Step 5: Grant of Certification: If there are no errors in the application, the BIS will grant the certification to the manufacturer. The certification will be assigned an eight-digit number.

Interest Expense in 2023: Ouch

Today we pivot back to interest rates, since we now have enough filings for Q1 2023 to perform another large-scale analysis of just how much companies are paying these days to cover the cost of their debt.

More. They are paying much more.

Specifically, Calcbench studied the Q1 interest expense for more than 1,000 filers for the last five years. For most of that period, interest expense was remarkably flat — until Q1 2023, when the number jumped a painful 22 percent. See Figure 1, below.

What’s going on in Figure 1 is this: pre-pandemic, when interest rates were low and life was grand, the corporations in our analysis sample poked along with Q1 interest expense somewhere around $60 billion, give or take a billion. Then the pandemic struck in 2020, and corporations loaded up on debt — to the extent that even with rates essentially near zero, interest expense in Q1 2021 nudged upward to $64.3 billion, before dropping back to $60.1 billion in Q1 2022.

Then came the inflation costs, and the Federal Reserve’s punishing wave of interest rate hikes throughout 2022. So corporations’ interest expense for Q1 2023 popped by that painful 22 percent, to $73.3 billion.

Even more unsettling, average interest rate costs also rose 22 percent this year. So we can’t really blame a few outliers whose big debt loads and bad timing led to major refinancings and gigantic interest expense costs that skewed things for the whole group. Interest expense is rising at a painfully high pace for companies across the board. See Figure 2, below.

All that said, individual debt levels do matter here. That is, a company might have had a very low level of debt in 2019, and then doubled or tripled that debt over the last five years — but that doesn’t necessarily mean financial suffocation now; it only means that interest expense rose sharply in relative, percentage terms. In absolute dollars, even the higher interest expense of today might not be a big hit to the balance sheet, if the company is generating lots of cash from operations.

For example, Table 1, below, shows the five companies with the largest increase in interest expense from 2019 to 2023 in absolute dollar terms.

How painful those higher interest expenses are depends on the company. Amazon.com ($AMZN) was racking up debt and interest expense because it grew like crazy during the pandemic, when the world had nothing to do but order stuff online with government stimulus payments. Cruise company Carnival Corp. ($CCL), on the other hand, was racking up debt while most of its cruise business was in drydock for at least a year.

Table 2, below, shows the five firms with the biggest jump in interest expense in percentage terms. As you can see, it’s a very different lineup.

One interesting factoid: only one company was on our Top 10 lists for biggest interest expense jumps in both absolute and percentage terms. That was Carnival Corp. Make your own quips about sailing into headwinds.

For those who want to explore debt and interest expense further, remember that Calcbench ran a five-part series on corporate debt at the start of this year. In particular we had a post that reviewed how to find all these disclosures on Calcbench, and detailed, firm-by-firm analysis is crucial if you want to reach the correct insights in these tricky times.
